What Ya Doin?

19052011

Last week we talked about why you are here so now that you know why, what were you put here to do? This takes your why and put’s it into action. How are you going to take your purpose and actually do something with it? What Ya Doin’? You see it’s not just about knowing what you LOVE to do, what you are good at and translating that into your purpose but now you must set those wheels in motion. Set those wheels in motion and begin to do what you were put here to do.

So many of us never reach out to actually begin this thing we know is our passion and our purpose. Why? Because sometimes we have something called ME in the way. We get in our own way when we doubt we can ever be successful doing that thing we absolutely love even though we know we are meant to do it. This happens when we allow ourselves to stay stuck in thinking things like….. I don’t have the skills, the resources, the connections to make my passion into what I do as a career, as a mom, as a ministry or service. You just may not have all of the things you need RIGHT NOW but know this – GOD DOES! I have seen how this happens for myself! You see as you start to take steps toward your passion, your purpose, your dreams, God show’s up and meets you right where you are with the right resources, connections and/or opportunities! This is what I call putting faith into action

“Faith Without Works Is Dead” – James 4:26

So how can you believe in something and never work toward it? It’s like me believing and praying for a job and never putting in a resume. How can God bless me with something without me putting in the work!!!! Putting in that work is what I call putting faith into action. After all that is exactly what the Proverbs 31 woman is all about!! It is knowing why you are here and now doing WHAT needs to be done to set that purpose into motion!

I know moving in purpose can be a pretty scary place. The fear of the unknown stops many of us from truly living in our abundant self. Think about people like Oprah. You think Oprah is not afraid to leave her popular TV show to start up a network!! After all, if you have never done what you have in your heart to do and you have never seen anyone else do it successfully, it’s got to be scary right!!!! Well if you play it safe, you’ll never see that desire on the inside of you come to pass. With this in mind, it’s time to conquer that fear as you move from why to what! It’s time to step out on faith and do what you are meant to do. Step into believing in the desires of your heart! Step into it and don’t be surprised when things start to fall into place and when they do know that it’s not luck. It’s not a coincidence. That is GOD stepping in to make the seed He planted in you grow. Yes I believe that our desire, our passion, our purpose was actually planted in us by God and it begins to grow as we water it by taking the actions to make it happen. Ladies it’s time for each of us to set our purpose into motion….so…What Ya Doin’?
